Masseria Sorani

Of all the properties we booked in Puglia (9) this was the highlight of our holiday. Driving down the lane to Masseria Sorani amid an olive grove I felt we had found an oasis of beauty and calm. Maria and Francesco were most attentive hosts and I had plentiful opportunities to practise my Italian, which makes a change! Having the Masseria di Sale restaurant next door made life even easier, and we ate out there both nights. I hope to be back very soon.

This is an extended Noble country estate, with 4 rooms, beautifully done of the corridor that guests can sit outside of the room. The swimming pool is big enough for exercise and relaxing. The owner couple is sooooooo nice friendly and helpful! The whole setup makes your stay comfortable and feel like home! We love Uma, their German shepherd as well super sweet! The breakfast also has big variety and either sit in the garden or a very comfy spacious kitchen. Room set up is very complete with everything that you need! The restaurant adjacent is more than traditional Italian one, with creative fusion menu - we like it!

The location is kinda of in the middle of nowhere, but if you have car still easy to commute! We stayed there 4 days, made day trip to Lecce, Monopoli & Ostuni, Taranto, and some small seaside towns. Ask Maria, the owner of the public beach, which we went there for half day (and some great local restaurants nearby).

Lovely stay - host was wonderful and the room was very comfortable and large. Very good value for money. Easy check in and check out process.

Best B&B I’ve ever stayed in. Was visiting for a wedding nearby and needed somewhere to relax in between organised events. It is truly stunning and has a great area to sunbathe and swim. The hosts are extremely kind (I requested some gluten free breakfast options and they happily provided). They also provided the number of a great taxi driver. If I’m in the area again, I’ll definitely be staying here.

We absolutely loved our visit here. We were the only guests when we stayed but the hosts were amazing! The breakfast was outstanding and the vibes were so relaxed.

We loved everything

The room was very comfortable with a lovely aspect. It was quiet and restful. Our hosts were very obliging and the breakfast provided was lovely with plenty of variety. The Masseria is near a very good restaurant, which was convenient.

Our only issue was very little English is spoken.

I thought it wouldn't look like the pictures, as it looks so nice. But it really is as pretty and detailed as the pictures show. The buildings, garden, and pool area are super pretty. The lady in reception was super nice and there is lots of seating place around. Which makes it very relaxing to be there during the afternoon in between city or beach hopping. For some reason, there were no other guests during our October stay, and it made it all the more luxurious. Also, the masseria del sale is amazing, slightly more luxurious than the average restaurant that we visited to during our week in Puglia but so worth it. Would recommend to book when you read this!

In October the nearest town (Manduria) is very quiet, most bars or cafes are closed. San pancrazio Salentino has a bit more to offer.

The Masseria Sorani is a wonderful place we can only recommend! The atmosphere was amazing, very calm & relaxed. Maria and her family are very friendly and made our stay an unforgettable memory.

Lovely oasis and helpful, friendly host. Beautiful breakfast and restaurant next door. Wonderful relaxing by the pool .

No drinking glasses, wine opener, plates or cutlery in the room however readily provided when asked. There was music from the restaurant till quite late but we didn’t mind it
